This is a movie of Ty from right before we went camping. It's a new kind of movie format. It is from Gather. I have decided to try and download my movies here and get paid to do it.

I am totally enjoying my time there. I have created 4 of my own groups there. Everyone is sooooo nice. Go check out Gather by pressing the button. My name is taylorblue so look for me there. You can do just about anything there! And you see the payment a lot quicker than other places out there. I have articles, pictures and movies there.

P.S. I had to tell you! Last night I had two really weird dreams! I dreamt of Criss Angel and he would show me lots of magic. And then I had a dream of Paris Hilton. I was texting Nicole Richie on her phone. It was like how funny!! Thought you would all like to know!

Now all you guys can finally learn why the women’s restroom line is always so damn long!

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it’s your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in, to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants. The dispenser for the modern “seat covers”; no doubt invented by someone’s mom, is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn’t. So you carefully, but quickly, drape it around your neck (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the floor); yank down your pants, and assume “The Stance”.

In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You’d love to sit down, but you certainly hadn’t had the time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold “The Stance”.

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind you can hear your mother’s voice saying “Honey, if you’d tried to clean the seat, you would have known there was no toilet paper!” Your thighs shake more.

You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday – the one that’s still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That will have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible; it’s still smaller than our thumbnail.

Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn’t work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. “Occupied!” you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT.

It is wet, of course. You bolt up; know all too well that it’s too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered sweat because you never laid down toilet paper – that that there was any, even if you had taken the time to try. You know your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, frankly dear, “You just don’t know what kind of diseases you could get.”

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl and spraying a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.

At this point, you give up. You’re soaked by the spewing water and wet toilet seat. You’re exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.

You can’t figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of waiting women,

You are no longer able to smile politely at them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe (where was that when you needed it?). You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman’s hand and tell her warmly; “Here, you just might need this.”

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men’s room. Annoyed he asks, “What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?”

I have joined a new Wednesday meme today! It's from MrsNesbitt's Place. She has started this meme that has to do with the alphabet. I am jumping when it has already started and she is on letter 'F'. Well since I have a million or so pictures here it goes...

F is for Flowers. I think that it's my most favorite thing to take pictures of!

F is for Feet. These are my son's feet splashing in the water last year!F is for Fish. I love these fish...I am even considering getting a tattoo sleeve on my arm of Koi fish. They mean good luck! F is for one more flower. This is one of my favorite pictures from my vacation. Enjoy!

Well, the crisis is over! It was all a dumb misunderstanding. Someone called Children's Aid on us. They said something that was totally untrue about my husband. They talked to the kids alone and then said, We are good here. They are going to talk to my husband on Wednesday and then close the case. I found out about it on Wednesday night but didn't know the reason until today. It was stressful wondering what it could be! But now I am going to keep our family to ourselves because I swear someone is out to get us! Thanks for all your prayers and nice words. I couldn't have done this without you!

I hope to hear today about what is happening. Yesterday was sooooo stressful I have a headache today. But I hope to have news! Here is another funny joke to leave you with!

British Airways flight 602

"This is Captain Sinclair speaking. On behalf of my crew I'd like to welcome you aboard British Airways flight 602 from New York to London. We are currently flying at a height of 35,000 feet midway across the Atlantic.

"If you look out of the windows on the starboard side of the aircraft, you will observe that both the starboard engines are on fire.

"If you look out of the windows on the port side, you will observe that the port wing has fallen off.

"If you look down towards the Atlantic ocean, you will see a little yellow life raft with three people in it waving at you.

"That's me your captain, the co-pilot, and one of the air stewardesses. This is a recorded message. Have a good flight.

There has been a family emergency. I really can't write what it is about until I get more details but I am very upset. I hope that I will be back tomorrow with good news. I'll leave you today with a quiz.

You Are Likely a Second Born

At your darkest moments, you feel inadequate.At work and school. you do best when you're evaluating.When you love someone, you offer them constructive criticism.

In friendship, you tend to give a lot of feedback - positive and negative.Your ideal careers are: accounting, banking, art, carpentry, decorating, teaching, and writing novels.You will leave your mark on the world with art and creative projects.

This week my Sunday Favorite is 7Confessions. I love this blog with all my heart. Confessing always has such a way to say things. You can also tell she is obsessed with Johnny Depp which she hasn't been writing about much. :( Go check out 7confessions....she has lots of entertainment gossip and just plain gossip. And look out for her new feature, Wordless Wednesday.

I just signed up for Pay Per Post. They are so amazing. They have so many opportunities for bloggers that don't have a page rank yet like me. Why did I join Pay Per Post? I joined because I love talking about products in the marketplace, I love it that I have a platform that I can share my views with everyone. But at Pay Per Post you get paid for your views. You can choose what you write about so it doesn't have to be out of line with your blog topics. And the pay ranges, when you have a higher page rank you will get charged more. What a great way to promote your blog! With my earnings I plan on paying bills and rent with my earnings. I know it's not very glamorous but that is life. They also have an option of being able to donate your earnings to charity. So if that is your thing you can! If you are a stay at home mom that needs that extra income and you have a blog that is three months or older I would definitely sign up here. Or if you are looking to make some money on the weekend sign up. What do you have to lose? Extra money?

You can also make new friends here. Why not? There are so many blogs out there to enjoy! You can visit others blogs and see what they are doing too.

With all the holidays coming up like Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldn't it be nice if you could just sit back and relax because you knew you could find everything you needed in one place? And if you start shopping for Christmas now it will be done and you won't have to worry about it! Coupon Chief is a great place to get your shopping done! It has tons of stores listed with promo codes and coupons right there for you. There are so many stores there that I can shop at, my daughter loves the clothes from the Disney store so I can do all my Disney Shopping here. My favorite store is Old Navy so I will be sure to order my clothes there! I will be so happy to have everything done before Christmas. Visit Coupon Chief...you won't be disappointed.

I have always loved to hear how people pick baby names. And picking a name for your child can be the most difficult decision you have to make.

I also found this article on a Chinese couple that wanted to name their child @.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@", claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, an official trying to whip the national language into line said on Thursday.

The unusual name stands out especially in Chinese, which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke characters to represent words.

"The whole world uses it to write e-mail, and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming.

While the "@" simple is familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word "at" to sound it out -- which with a drawn out "T" sounds something like "ai ta", or "love him", to Mandarin speakers.

Li told a news conference on the state of the language that the name was an extreme example of people's increasingly adventurous approach to Chinese, as commercialisation and the Internet break down conventions.

Another couple tried to give their child a name that rendered into English sounds like "King Osrina."

Li did not say if officials accepted the "@" name. But earlier this year the government announced a ban on names using Arabic numerals, foreign languages and symbols that do not belong to Chinese minority languages.

Sixty million Chinese faced the problem that their names use ancient characters so obscure that computers cannot recognise them and even fluent speakers were left scratching their heads, said Li, according to a transcript of the briefing on the government Web site (www.gov.cn).

One of them was the former Premier Zhu Rongji, whose name had a rare "rong" character that gave newspaper editors headaches.

I'm sorry if I haven't really written anything personal lately. I am really sad about my cat. You know the house is so empty without him here. My patience is nil. My daughter does whatever she wants. I don't know why she bothers to ask me things when she just goes ahead and does the thing anyways. I never knew that a loss of a pet could be so draining. Poor Ty still doesn't understand that Gilbert isn't coming back.

But for good news. I went to my post op check up and I got cleared to resume my normal activities after one more week. I can't tell you how different I feel. There was so many advantages of having the hysterectomy. It was so nice to be able to pack for a trip and not wonder if may be it will come. I swear every time I went to my grandmother's house when I was younger there it was my Monthly curse!! And that's how it felt for me!!!

I have to tell you...I have found this awesome forum. It's called Freelancevenue. I have been a member there for months now. But now I want to share it with all of you! This a place where freelancers of any genre can find available freelance jobs. You can also exchange freelance advice with others there. It's a good site to find your next job at. I know I have talked many times to the admin at this site because they are actively involved in the discussions there. They care about who you are and what your concerns are. And you know what is the coolest??? They offer prizes. I won something already!! Go and check them out...everyone is so friendly there!

I don't know if anyone knows this but right now my obsession is Milo Ventimiglia. If you check out my celebrity site-Taylor's Entertainment News and Taylor's Celebrity Quotes you will find out how much I have written about him lately. I love this video so much. I could watch it over and over.

Well I am back from camping in the Rocky Mountains. The views were breathtaking!! I have so many pictures to show you, I took at least 400!! I really didn't see any animals. I saw a moose and her baby this morning that was kinda cool...and a deer and her baby yesterday. But it rained for 3 of the 5 days we were there. All we had was sweatshirts...like OMG I was cold!!! SO if any one wants to know how it went it was wet and cold, wet and cold, and did I say wet and cold.

I have some really horrible news though...Gilbert was lost in the woods. And this morning he came back for a bit and ran away again. So we didn't come home with him. I am so sad....There is just something about our house that is missing....

Yep that's right Taylor is on vacation!! If you can call camping that... definitely not my idea of a good vacation!! So start today i have the Magical Pick Up Line Generator! :DYou can try it on yourself it's fun!

SO tomorrow I leave on vacation. My good friend and partner in crime (shhhh don't tell anyone...) will be taking over until I get back. Please make confessing7girl welcome. She's really cool!! (Confessing I know you can do it. And before you know it I'll be back. That number one is for you!!!)

Anyways, it's been a crazy day trying to get everything together. WE have such a little car that it should be fun trying to get everything plus the four of us and the two cats in. I just hope it's not a really long ride!!

I can't wait to get back to show you all my pictures. I bought a million batteries so the only thing I can run out of is disc space and I have a 1G card in. If I see any bears I'll tell them to pose so that you will be able to see them. Have a good week. I'll miss you all!!

Sunday, August 5, 2007

Here is Ty trying to play golf last summer. You know he was really good at it!! I wish I would have saved all the movies I made but I didn't have the computer yet. But hey that is okay...I have the pics!

I can't believe how fast this day has went! I have been running around with my family getting ready to go camping. The kids are just strung out because they are so excited. The cats think they are missing out on something but little do they know that they are coming with. I can't wait to be in the mountains....finally> I have been dying to see them since I moved out west. Now I get the chance.

I was just playing this game on Seventeen.com...you need to try it. You get to answer the phones and type on the computer. Just like if you were an assistant there. Try it!! (Editor's Assistant Game)I love games like this that make you manage your time.

Things have been crazy around here. Why isn't there more time in the day to do things? I just confirmed my camping reservations. I am so excited and nervous. This will be really the first time I go away with my husband on a trip. And there will be bears! I hope when I get back I won't have to tell you one of my cats got eaten. That would just suck! But the hardest part will not having the computer. But I am sure I will be able to relax. I got two novels to read when I am there and I am sure I'll get them done.
